Post hardcore/metalcore act Underoath have formally announced their plans to disband following a remarkable 15-year career.

“It’s sad to say that we feel like it’s time to close this chapter, but we have never seen things more clearly,” says vocalist Spencer Chamberlain. “These have been the best years of my entire life, and I owe that to every single person who ever supported this band along the way. This wasn’t a quick decision by any means. It’s just time for us to move on.”

Underoath will end their career by releasing a retrospective album titled Anthology 1999-2013. The album will be released on November 6th through Solid State Records, and will span the band's entire discography. The release will also feature the band's final recorded material in the form of new tracks “Sunburnt” and “Unsound.”

Underoath will also be embarking on a farewell tour beginning in 2013.

Haven't really listened to these guys, so I'll have to pick up the retrospective. That's how you disband -- tell the fans early, give a best-of, go on a farewell tour. Best of luck to them in the future.

they dont even have the original line-up. 15 years would be unfair to say about these guys. I wasnt never a real big fan of them. But I give them props. Im sure they were all fans before they joined the band

I didn't really liked disambiguation as much as others did...but everything else they put out was just brilliant, the band just had amazing musicians in it throughout the years
sad to see them go, really sad, one of the bands I always wanted to see on stage

You can say all the bad things you want, but this band preaches the gospel through their music and they have touched a lot of people's lives and made the world better for it. It sucks they are breaking up, but they've done a lot of good through the years.

Underoath changed the world, people!

At least they're touching lives and not little boys, right Christians?

Well, Intotheshit, fieryfenderz was a name I came up with in 5th grade and was just a username I stuck with ever since then. I'm a college student now. I recognize fenders is actually spelled with an s, not a z.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I never got into these guys even when I was in my melodic metalcore phase way back when. They just always seemed a little too gay and post-hardcorey and I was only letting badass shit like trivium touch my ears.

Sucks big time but I saw it coming. Was just hoping for another album though, really wanted to see where they would take their sound from Disambiguation. At least Tim's still doing music with Carrollhood.

This is fucking awful. Their music is masterful and has been a part of my life since I was a kid. Damn. And I can't believe they aren't even going to release another album's worth of new music. This is shitty.

i never got the love for these guys. they were huge with all my friends in high school when we all ate up AOF and A7X and shit but yeah never dug em. still RIP to one of the most influential punk bands of our time. (yeah yeah hate on them all you want but you can't deny their influence)

YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THE BABY BEFORE YOU HAD SEX
BECAUSE YOU HAVE DESTROYED A GIFT FROM GOD
YOU KILL, YOU DESTROYED
NEVER WILL THIS BABY BE ABLE TO GROW UP OR SHOW ITS LOVE
YOU'LL NEVER HEAR IT SAY I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU

The only christian metalcore band I can say I love till this day. I can't say this is surprising, but it's still sucks to still see it happen. Define the Great Line was my shit back in late middle school / early high school.

What a shame. Underoath are a great band, the last three albums are all fantastic.Not really a fan of the discs prior to 'Define the great Line'. I was expecting something new from them this year, what a bummer

Still, thankyou Underoath for all the great tunes, belted out with a rare passion. You'll be missed.

Loved these guys since the changing of times. They made great music up until the end and always gave killer performances with great sound. They were legit and inspired a lot of bands who tried to imitate them and failed.
